OVERVIEW OF KZN STRATEGIC PLANNING : KWAZULU-NATAL GOVT PRIORITIES
1. Rural Development and Agrarian Reform2. Fighting Crime and Creating Safer Communities3. Education and Skills for all4. Health for all5. Creating Decent Work and Ensuring Economic Growth6. Nation Building and Good Governance7. Social and Economic Infrastructure8. Cohesive and Sustainable Communities9. International Co-operation10.Sustainable Resource Management
OVERVIEW OF KZN STRATEGIC PLANNING : PROVINCIAL SPATIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (PSEDS)
• The PSEDS recognises that:– Social & economic development is never uniformly distributed– Apartheid created an unnatural distortion of development– This distortion must be addressed through an interventionist approachThe PSEDS is intended to answer the fundamental question of ‘where’ economic development should take place and how government should focus its resources to “ensure sustainable and maximum impact”.
Classification of Economic Potential• The economic sector has identified four key sectors as drivers of
economic growth in the KZN Province. These sectors are:• The Agricultural sector (including agri-processing)• The Industrial sector• The Tourism sector• The Service sector (including government services)
PROVINCIAL SPATIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY(PSEDS)
PSEDS CLASSIFICATION: Priority Corridors
• Economic activity corridors linking the 1st order economic nodes, situated around or adjacent to road infrastructure
Connecting corridors: Existing
Infrastructure
• Economic activity corridors linking the 1st order economic nodes, but with poor transport infrastructure
Connecting corridors: Inexistent
or incomplete infrastructure
• Corridors of economic activity leading into or out of the Province
Strategic gateway corridors
• Economic activity corridors of a defined sector-type, i.e. tourism corridor; agricultural corridor.
Sector specific corridors
PSEDS CLASSIFICATION: Priority Nodes
• Has a large population and an economy which contributes more than 1.5% to KZN GDP
• Services the provincial, national or international economy
• High levels of development; diversified production
1st Order: Economies of Scale
• Services the regional or wider provincial economy
• Strong population and economic growth
• Strategic position for future economic growth
2nd Order: High Growth/Strategic
• Large populations
• Spatial isolation from economic opportunities
• High levels of poverty and low levels of employment
3rd Order: Poverty Intervention
Local Priorities
• Important district and municipal nodes
• Services the local district or municipal economy4th Order: Local

PGDS & PSEDS linkages to the Corridor Development Programme
• The Corridor Development Programme is a technical support and funding mechanism through which towns located along major activity corridors are supported (as identified in the PSEDS).
• Emphasis on support to towns classified mainly as:
• These are towns which have a Provincial-wide influence and at the centre of increasing challenges of urbanisation, particularly high rates of rural-urban migration.
1st Order:
Economies of Scale
• The Small Town Rehabilitation Programme is a technical support and funding mechanism through which small and rural towns are supported (as identified in the PSEDS).
• Emphasis on support to towns classified either as:
• These are towns which have a regional or local influence to the hinterlands and are also experiencing the marginal challenges of urbanisation, deteriorating infrastructure and growth of the informal economy.
PGDS & PSEDS linkages to the Small Town Rehabilitation Programme
CHALLENGE CURRENT SUPPORT
Limited funding for LEDLED is often considered an unfunded mandate based on how it has been perceived which is contrary to legislative prescripts. Municipal LED Strategies implementation have lagged behind other priorities in the municipalities.
COGTA Programmes, Small Town Rehabilitation and Corridor Development are geared towards the implementation of project in the municipal LED Plans.Support is also provided by COGTA officials in aligning municipalities with funding agencies and in preparation of business plans.
Lack of resources to prepare detailed plansThe lack of appropriate plans to guide developmentof small towns
The Department provides support for thepreparation of Urban regeneration and precinctplans to provide a cohesive and integrated approachto the small town development.
Capacity ConstraintsUntil recently, LED was not accorded adequate attention which has reflected in either the non-existence of Staff or Staff with inappropriate skills and qualifications
COGTA’s Capacity building support through ad hoc training and LED professional qualification at NQF level 4/5 ( partnership with University of Joburg) and feeding into the DEDTEA Programme that focuses on NQF Level 6 and above.
KEY CHALLENGES AND CURRENT SUPPORT FOR LED IN KWAZULU-NATAL
CHALLENGE CURRENT SUPPORT
Limited Revenue BaseThe inability for small towns togenerate adequate revenue to fundimplementation and maintenance ofprojects that will drive economicdevelopment.
Revenue enhancement initiatives have beenundertaken to improve and provide asustainable revenue base for small townswhilst also, bringing services closer to people(Construction of Traffic Department UnitsBuildings, Umzimkhulu, Richmond andBergville) .
Inability to manage activities in theCBDThe haphazard nature of Informaltrading have impacted negatively onthe visual outlook of many smalltowns
Projects to this effect include thereconstruction of Taxi ranks and tradingfacilities (Ixopo, Manguzi, Maphumulo) forsuch to operate in an orderly manner,achieve functional integration and improvethe visual outlook of small towns.
KEY CHALLENGES AND CURRENT SUPPORT FOR LED IN KWAZULU-NATAL
COGTA MUNICIPAL LED SUPPORT PROGRAMMES
– District Development Agencies
– Corridor Development ( Planning and Implementation)
– Small Town Rehabilitation (Planning and Implementation)
– Community Work Programme
– Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP)
– Community Service Centres (former Thusong and Traditional Courts)
FOCUS ON SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION AND CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES AS
MEANS OF SUPPORT TO LED IN KWAZULU-NATAL
• Both programmes are implemented through grant funding for:– Project conceptualisation, packaging and detailed
business planning
– Capital funding for implementation• Construction
• Refurbishment, upgrading, or extension
• Projects are implemented using EPWP principles
Municipalities are required to commit to funding the Operations and Management aspects of projects.
5 STRATEGIC PILLARS OF SUPPORT
Small Town Rehabilitation Strategic
Thrusts
Urban
Management
(includes by law
enforcement, management
of informal trading and
safety in the small town
including surveillance
cameras, waste
management)
Infrastructure
Upgrade
(includes maintenance
of roads and storm-
water, street signs,
robots, power networks
and waste collection
points)
Support to Economic
Sectors
(includes assessment
of those sectors with a
potential to grow the
economy and
contribute to the GGP.
Clear strategies to
promote growth of
these sectors in line
with PSEDS should be
identified informed by
the area strength and
competitive advantage)
Address dilapidated
buildings
(involves implementation of
building controls and
rehabilitation of disused
buildings. This requires
investment incentives and
tax rebates.)
Ripple Effect
Investment
(as catalysts for investor
confidence. This involves
anchor developments that
will result in the attraction
of other investment
opportunities.)
Well managed and inclusive small town

Umzimkhulu Town : Umzimkhulu Municipality
Before intervention, the Municipality was characterised by poor/dilapidated
infrastructure, non-existence of land administration and land use systems,
high levels of unemployment and poverty, non-existence of social and
health care facilities etc. The Umzimkhulu town could not provide the basic
needed for commercial activities.
Main challenges:
Poor Stormwater Management: Flooded CBD after rains. The Department
played a huge role in the formalization of Umzimkhulu LM- the old CBD is
located within the 100 year flood line.
Umzimkhulu Urban Regeneration Study, 2006 suggested the re-planning
and relocation of the CBD.
In 2008 the new township layout was developed and was approved.
Infrastructure development includes new roads, storm water drainage
systems, new power lines & water systems

Bergville Town under Okhahlamba Municipality
The Bergville Town, within the Okhahlamba Local Municipality is strategically locatedin a key tourism and agricultural zone and has the potential to evolve into a leadingtown both in terms of providing high order facilities in the conferencing, sporting,agricultural, recreational, and educational and community service arena
The current challenges facing the Bergville Town is the lack of conducive rental spacefor government and non-government services. This contributes to the reluctance ofnew potential service providers not considering Bergville as a service point. Thisdeprives the local community of key services normally accessed within a functionaltown.
The current development is part of a holistic precinct development with the DisasterManagement Centre, Traffic Inspectorate Testing Centre and Fresh Produce Market.The Department supported funding towards the inclusion of CSC within the existingprecinct development. Phase 2 of the development included the construction of aMultipurpose Hall inclusive of conferencing facilities and indoor sporting facility.Future phases will include a swimming pool, athletics track, open gym, park andlibrary facilities

– KwaMbonambi Urban Development Framework and project precinct
– Extension of the industrial area in Dannhauser
–Ogle Farm Precinct at Ubuhlebezwe
– Manguzi Precinct Plan
– Facilitation of new mall development in Harding
–Mtubatuba Regeneration Plan
OUTCOMES OF THE PROGRAMME
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED DURING PROJECTS IMPLEMENTATION
• Some nodes are not yet formalised and hence require intense consultation with ITB to release land or agree on formal approach to town management.
• The resolution of land legal matters (availability of land for CDB extension, land title adjustment on farms, finalisation of the vesting).
• Slow progress in Municipal SCM processes leading to delays in commencing with project implementation
• Delays in implementation of projects which results in cost escalation, dissatisfaction by beneficiaries leading to community unrest and damages to parts of the infrastructure already developed.
• Non-compliance with the MoA between the municipalities and COGTA, especially reporting, leading to the withdrawal of grant by the Department.
• Alignment of connections for critical services i.e. water, sanitation, electricity, ect. Such will include capacity which inhibit new development, delayed implementation of projects that will need to be finalized for the LED project to be functional by District municipalities, Eskom as well as other Provincial Departments
LESSONS LEARNT
• The critical role that the municipality needs to play in the implementation of the Programmes– Alignment of Integrated Development Plans, Spatial Development Plans and LED Strategies .– Commitment by management in packaging Business Plans and compliance to conditions of
the MoA with the Department as the funder.– Ensuring maintenance of infrastructure post construction– Ensuring that all Departments within the municipality are involved in the implementation of
the Programme
• Conceptualisations of projects to ensure sustainability and development of a clearly outlined and costed operational plan
• Integrated approach by all government departments (e.g. Current collaborative approach to LED support by COGTA, EDTEA and SALGA)
• Ensuring that ownership of the project by beneficiaries is dealt with throughout the project lifetime
• Onward support by relevant Department according their mandates in line with the Municipal Integrated Development Plan.
